Overview

• Suárez was struck on his right index finger by a 95.6 mph sinker in the ninth inning of Monday’s loss to Detroit, forcing him to exit the game.
• Initial X-rays revealed no fractures and the All-Star third baseman is scheduled for follow-up imaging to assess his recovery timeline.
• Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati and Seattle were among the contenders pursuing Suárez before negotiations were paused.
• New York bowed out of the negotiations when it deemed Arizona’s high prospect return demands too steep.
• With 36 home runs and 87 RBIs this season, Suárez stands as the most coveted trade asset as Arizona seeks to replenish its farm system.
